Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with patty pans and set aside. Chop the pie apples into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon. In a jug, combine egg, milk, oil, vanilla and half the pie apples.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just wet. Using a 1/3 cup measure, fill each muffin cup and smooth the top.

Spoon remaining pie apples evenly over each muffin and sprinkle with a little additional ground cinnamon. Bake for 22-25 minutes. Leave to cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool further.

Notes

Take care not to overwork the batter - you want all the ingredients just wet. If you mix it too much the muffins will turn out heavy.

For spicy muffins, add 1 teaspoon of allspice to the the dry ingredient mixture.
